Fishing

[Perrigrin]

I did some searches on fishing, but can't quite puzzle out how you are meant to do it (I use ISBoxer).

Is this correct:

1) Cast fishing
2) Turn on mouse broadcast and put the cursor over the lure on the slave(s)
3) Turn off mouse boradcast
4) Set mouse over lure on main
5) When anyone gets a bite, hit interract with target
6) Repeat 5 until all have fished
7) Repeat from 1

Thanks!

Thanks, otherwise correct?

Personally, I would probably try to set up a special set of VFX to handle this, but I'm honestly not sure since the highest fishing skill I have on my main character after several years is only 148 -- And that was probably obtained during TBC. ;)

Perrgrin take a look at the khat fishing information. You were mostly right except that it is crucial that everyone have the same camera angle and that takes a bit of setup. For me I have my macro both setview and cast fishing so I also use it in instances or the world whenever I want cameras to get straightened out and synced.

The most efficient way would be to only IWMO on the toon that's needed it, otherwise you'll have to recast on everyone.

You shouldn't be able to interact with a bobber that's not your own and it's very rare that all of your bobbers will land in a pile. Even if they land on close like in this screenie (http://www.dual-boxing.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=790&d=1355907135) they are still separate enough to IWM without pulling up the other slave lines. With practice, you'll get a feel for where to place the mouse to even hit just one out of the 2 that are overlapping.

If they're really close, you can also wait until the second bobber gets a hit and pull them both together.

As far as turning off Click to Move, you shouldn't need to for fishing unless you keep picking up mobs from the mouseover.

I just popped in to double check some of this stuff and it looks like {judging from my trial account} and CtM doesn't trigger from fishing, but it does trigger with gathering (http://genus-industri.us/wp/2011/11/09/hkn-script-v2-–-part-5/) and the like. If you're using that, you might want to throw in the macro for turning off click to move when you call your SetView macro.


/console AutoInteract 0
/script SetView (4); SetView (4)

I personally also have a /cleartarget with my fishing
